(a)The Council may employ such officers and employees as may be necessary to carry out its functions under this chapter. In addition, the Council may employ and fix the compensation of such experts and consultants as may be necessary for the carrying out of its functions under this chapter, in accordance with section
3109 of title
5 (but without regard to the last sentence thereof).

(b)Notwithstanding section
1342 of title
31, the Council may accept and employ voluntary and uncompensated services in furtherance of the purposes of the Council.

The last sentence of section
3109 of title
5, referred to in subsec. (a), probably means the last sentence of section
3109(b) of title
5, which was the last sentence of that section when the reference was enacted. Since then, section
3109 of title
5 has been amended to add subsecs. (c) to (e) at the end.
